One of the towering figures of German music, Strauss left behind tone poems and operas that orchestras and opera houses worldwide have never stopped performing - from the cosmic sunrise of Also sprach Zarathustra to the lush comedy of Der Rosenkavalier and the final serenity of the Vier letzte Lieder.
